TPC International GT. REMAINING ROUNDS CANCELLED.

[CodeRedR51]

Want me to switch you over to Hyundai? I'll get the BoP sorted out on the 28/29th when I get back to my rig.

Sure.

 

[Timm Sheehan]

Ok here is my beast for use if I am called out off the reserve list. I will get the right side view completed and sent in the next few days.

Be safe, enjoy your holiday season, and have fun racing!

Hope everyone's had a good Christmas.

Plan for this week . . Get BoP finalised for Turbo's Hyundai tonight. Then I'll start hosting practice from Wednesday evening. Time/circuits TBC.

 

[NoStopN]

I'll try to get my car's glamour shot for the spotter's guide done today or tomorrow.

Ready to go when you are.

 

[Kermit_2142]

I shall be choosing my manu this week, just looking at the list I find it hard to not pick the Ferrari but would like to run a few laps in the others with this bop 👍.

Loving that livery, mate!

BoP for the Hyundai will be finalised tonight. Fairly sure I got it right last night. But, I was pretty tired, so need to retest again later, to make sure.

 

[El_Beardo]

Slight adjustment to the ballast system, while I'm logged in. OP has been updated to suit.

Application of ballast will be staggered. Ballast for Round 2 will apply to the top 3 championship positions, in 3%, 2%, 1% order. Ballast will apply to top 5 from Round 3 onwards.

Means we're not lumping the Brands winner with an immediate 60-70kg load for Monza.

 

[slimmycam]

74 is taken too. Entry list spreadsheet on page 1 has the numbers of drivers so far.

#70 it is, then.

 

[Kermit_2142]

Jaguar please


(You may see me facing the wrong way occasionally but boy is she a fun ride!!)

 

[El_Beardo]

@R1600Turbo Hyundai BoP is done. 445hp/1309g.

116% power. 97% weight.

Jaguar please

Noice!! I was hoping someone would grab one of the Brit V8's.

Doesn’t Ford own Jag now?

Doesn’t Ford own Jag now?

Not since '08. They're owned by Tata Motors, now.

Nearly picked Jaguar myself it drives nicely and sounds mega

Must. Resist. Ta-ta. Joke.

Couple of last minute changes.

@NoStopN I'm joining you at Chevrolet. You looking to run all rounds?

@GTP_Guido the GTR is getting a slight buff in power.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Alright, first laps in the car tonight at Monza (I'll be missing the first round) with the BOP set. On soft tires and (surprisingly) in cockpit view, managed a 1:52.372. Normally I use hood view but the sound of this car is just too good in cockpit, so I might commit myself to running that view for the duration of the season. So apologies in advance if I squeeze you off on the right side of the car, I can't see you. Usually I am a fair bit slower in cockpit view, but I just picked up a Playseat Evolution and I think that might be helping. I don't mind it as much now. Car is great off the line with TCS at 1 so good to go there.

Side note, I'd love to run in a series that does a formation lap with self gridding. (park on the grid and the host gives a go time on the clock) We did that in one of my old Miata series, I think in GT5?

Couple snaps from the session:

Edit: The lap.

@GTP_Guido with Turbo missing round 1, do you want to join us at Brands Indy, on the 10th?

Nice lap, man. I'm also starting to like cockpit cam. Not entirely sure why. But, it seems easier to prevent oversteer.

Confirming for Brands

 

[Kermit_2142]

Once you go cockpit you never go back

 

[Pigems]

I find the cars react differently depending on the camera view your using. Bumper cam, the cars seem very twitchy. Chase cam, the car feels impossible to spin out and very understeery. Cockpit cam feels the most balanced, but you just can’t see much. Maybe it’s just me though?

Nope, can't see a huge amount in cockpit cam in GTSport so I use roof/bonnet cam as a compromise.

Welcome & yes. I need to get to turning laps. I've been resisting dailies due to the terrible penalty system. Sad, really. The game is probably the best on the market otherwise.

I'm the same, mate. Been spending more time on ACC, and PC2 lately, where I'd usually be doing dailies. Rest of the time, I'm hotlapping or practicing for various lobby events on GTS.

Currently working on transferring this to the 'Vette, if you fancy running a team livery?

 

[NoStopN]

Actually Beardo, I sent my team livery to Drex yesterday. After I finished it I said to myself, "I think I've run out of livery ideas". Looks suspiciously similar to another livery that I've slapped on multiple cars.

I'll be in the canyons thrashing my real car most of the night.

 

[El_Beardo]

Practice lobby at midnight, UK time.

 

[El_Beardo]

Lobby will be open shortly. TV won't access my HDMI ports.
